Discover the art of knurling in MetMo's latest blog post, Getting Down and Knurley. Learn how this precision engineering technique enhances tool grip, functionality, and aesthetic appeal. Explore different knurl patterns, suitable materials, and the machinery behind the process. At MetMo, we blend craftsmanship with innovation to create tools that stand out in both design and performance.

When it comes to engineering excellence, the tools you carry are only part of the story — how you carry them matters too. In An Ultimate Case, we take you behind the scenes of the design and development of the Multi Drive Expansion Kit: a storage solution as precisely crafted as the tool it protects. From material choices to the satisfying click of the magnetic closure, every detail was obsessively refined to balance durability, usability, and style. This isn't just a case — it's an experience built for creators who care as much about their gear as the projects they bring to life.

Your makerspace is more than just a workbench—it's your creative command center. Whether you're soldering circuits, carving wood, or prototyping your next big idea, the design of your space can make or break your workflow. In this post, we dive into six essential design principles that turn any workspace into a maketastic haven of productivity, inspiration, and efficiency. From layout logic to storage hacks, these tips will help you build a space that works as hard as you do.

Say hello to The Stubster—your palm-sized, micro-handle sidekick that squeezes into tight spaces where the regular Multi Drive can’t reach. It packs all the same handy features as its full-size sibling—bit-holding, secure grip, quick-swapping—all wrapped into a compact powerhouse.

Every great product starts somewhere—often in a workshop full of wild ideas, exploded prototypes, and the occasional insurance risk! In this behind-the-scenes dive, we look back at the curious contraptions and “what-were-we-thinking” builds that eventually led to the sleek, refined Multi Drive.

From the Danger Knife (aka a high-precision vacuum-launched foot-stabber), to a ratchet mechanism so tiny it needed dental-grade tools to make, to a PEEK plastic prototype that felt more like a sponge than a screwdriver—each misstep taught us something valuable (and occasionally hilarious).

And let’s not forget the 3kg brass One Tonne Case, which looked cool, felt like a Bond gadget, and required serious biceps to carry.

These discarded designs are more than just failures—they’re part of the MetMo DNA: over-engineered, beautifully mad, and a bit dangerous. Because building something great means getting your hands dirty and your desk a bit scorched.

Why step up your tool game?
Your modelling skills will outgrow basic gear pretty fast. A sharp, sturdy setup lets you finesse details, save time, and spare your fingers the agony of crummy kits.

We’re tearing apart the Multi Drive and looking at each piece in excruciating detail.

From dainty 18th‑century watch benches to roaring factory floors, the collet shows how micro‑innovations can power mega transformations. Tiny sleeve, massive impact—grip tight, friends!
